lucyslibraryreviews's review against another edition
5.0
This is a beautiful book of days gone by. A little girl goes by herself on a long train journey across the country. My guess is that it goes from one end of the Great Northern line to the other. It is set in a time where train travel was a thing of luxury and we get to experience it through the eyes of a child who when waited on in the dinner car sneaks a few sugar cubes into her coin purse and who makes friends with an older lady passing the time while knitting. A snowstorm brings the train to a halt, causing fear for the girl. The train is late, will Grandma still be waiting on the other end? Of course, Grandma did just that.
